The challenge here is to design a space habitat for 2000 Astronauts / Space travellers / Recreationers which should be expandable to 10000 codename: Or1gYn.
Or1gYn is the first space settlement commissioned by planet earth collectively in the year 2040 - which will host as a staging area for all our space missions here on. This staging base will be a point of interest for space recreationers at the same time a part of it will also be the origin of all the space programmes in the coming 3 decades in our endeavor to explore the solar systems and beyond.
The primary functions of this space habitat will be:
1. Staging,
2. Re-Fuelling,
3. Recreation,
4. Research-Training,
5. Service / Maintenance
The Or1gYn station will be situated in Low Earth Orbit, not on a planet or moon. Orbits are far superior to the Moon and Mars for early and long-term settlement, and other planets and moons are too hot, too far away, and/or have no solid surface. The materials for these settlements, however, must have to be imported from Earth, the Moon or Near Earth Objects (NEO’s - asteroids and comets).
